Two great men died this week: conservative thinker/genius William F. Buckley, Jr. and Christian rock pioneer Larry Norman.  Though "worlds apart," both of these men were prime examples of what each of us should strive to be. They were uncompromising, patient, thoughtful, and compassionate.  They were always thinking of others instead of themselves. In short, they changed the world for the better.  If you are not familiar with these men, then do yourself a favor and learn who they were.  Their stories and ideas will enrich you life for the better.

William F. Buckley, Jr.
